A review by wishanem
Market Forces by Richard K. Morgan
3.0
In a surprisingly plausible near-future Britain corporate finance executives engineer "small wars" for the profit of their investors. The business is fiercely competitive, and often results in automobile race fights to the death.
Chris Faulkner is a conflicted antihero, uncertain whether he can maintain his life of a corporate warrior. Chris remains a compelling and unpredictable character, even as the reader becomes more intimately familiar with his life. His relationships with his wife, clients, friends, and enemies slowly tear Chris apart and restitch him together as a different man.
This book consistently describes brutally violence and personal dysfunction in a way that never becomes comfortable or casual to read.
